crafting gray animals // making up donkey stories

Dear users, dear designers,
Donkeys are stubborn, obstinate, incredibly cute not only as foals, and they’re also great to craft. Do you need any more reasons?
Here you go—I’ve gathered everything for you:

Donkey Ruda crochet pattern



This donkey may be lying harmlessly flat on his belly, but don’t let that fool you: as soon as you’ve made him, he’ll come up with all kinds of pranks. It definitely won’t get boring with him.

The donkey in the picture above wasn’t quite awake yet when the photo was taken. Possibly he’d been at a party the night before. Maybe someone should have a sensible talk with him? ; ) But you can also simply have lots of fun with him while making him. That always works, of course. P.S.: As soon as he’s had enough sleep, he’ll have time and feel like playing, romping, and cuddling again.

Crochet pattern cuddle cloth Asinello - little donkey to love



The donkey as a cuddle cloth is simply sweet and adorable,
also great as a gift for new little ones.

Of course, donkeys aren’t the only animals that look good in gray.
We also have horses, ponies, cats, dogs, owls, and many other animals in the shop. There’s sure to be a new animal / amigurumi for you, too.

Tip: If you’d like to make up your own donkey stories, feel free to do so. Have fun!

@Designers,
You can present 2–3 suitable patterns here. Don’t forget the link and image, as well as information about materials, technique, difficulty level, and details about what makes the pattern special.

Well, and what about the elephants? They shouldn’t be forgotten either, because elephants are very intelligent animals. Bully, the little elephant, is still a baby, but he would sooo love to be a big captain already! Until then, he has to make do with a little toy boat and his swim ring.
You can crochet Bully from cuddly fluffy yarn (as shown in the picture) or from acrylic yarn if you don’t have much crochet experience yet. He’ll turn out very cute in both versions.
The pattern guides you step by step and includes lots of pictures for more detailed explanations. It also includes a shorter print version without pictures.

Hippos Paul and Paula and their little friend Mouse Pipsi invite you to the hippodrome for the ballet of the pachyderms.... Two giants and one tiny tot provide play, fun, and excitement.

You simply have to love them. For playing, cuddling, or giving as a gift.

The hippos are approx. 30 cm tall and the tiny tot... approx. 10 cm, but when they dance, the three are an unbeatable team and the size difference is hardly noticeable anymore.

The pattern for Paul and Paula includes 16 pages, and the one for Pipsi 10 pages with detailed step-by-step pictures. Just right for beginners with basic knowledge. (techniques used, such as magic ring and invisible decreases, are explained in detail with words and pictures)

Materials and accessories:

• 4 mm crochet hook
• Yarn and leftover yarn in gray, green, red, rose or pink, white
• 2 pairs of 15 mm safety eyes for the hippos (alternatively, these can also be embroidered)
• 1 pair of googly eyes for the mouse
• 2 buttons
• Stuffing

The best comes last, as always.... You can download this funny trio here for free

Who says a skunk isn’t cute? Didn’t I dress up nicely? 

Don’t let the tail and head tuft put you off - it is described in great detail and illustrated. The 2nd version using acrylic yarn is also described, so it doesn’t necessarily have to be made with novelty yarn.



Hello, who says I’m just a gray mouse? I’m Lola and a really great little helper for all crochet lovers.... and I’ve already become a mother. You can also find my   baby mouse Lolita



 Crochet Pattern Elephant Lady with Beret and Skirt

You can be a lady even as an elephant. 
Add a lovely dusty-pink beret and pleated skirt to the beautiful gray, and that’s no problem at all. The sweet elephant lady has dressed up to the nines to finally find herself a man.
And I think she did a great job.
